My Thrifting Outfit: Polka-Dotted Flower Child

I've been trying to come up with new ways to wear some of my trusty favorites: jeans, tshirts, and sandals. I feel like it's easier to come up with unique outfits when layering is possible, and it's not when it's over a hundred degrees!

Luckily, it's cooled off a bit, and my trusty layers and a couple new things made getting dressed this morning easier:

Flower Crown Headband, Action is the Fruit Etsy Shop; Necklace, West End Antiques; Sunnies, Good Samaritan; Rayon Button-up; Goodwill; Dotted Tank, Goodwill; Gap Jeans, Goodwill; Birks, Love of Jesus; Stone Mountain Purse, Goodwill

The flower headband, dotted top, and purse are all new additions to my wardrobe! I love the headband, especially because it was made by one of my favorite bloggers, Starr from A Thought is the Blossom. It's just the thing to add a girlie touch to my outfits too!

The Stone Mountain purse is such a nice, buttery yellow color, and was quite the steal at $4. It feels very summery to me :) And you know I can't resist polka-dotted things like this comfy tank!

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend :) I'll have the new Thrifty Blogger for August up tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

New Obsession(s): Vintage Love

There is something just...magical...about vintage items. I love that something has a history, and vintage packaging is always cooler than new.

I've been slowly collecting vintage board games for their charm and to play! The hubby and I like to sit around and lazily play, making up rules as we go (sometimes the rules make it too hard!).

Word-Wise is definitely one of those games. You are supposed to be able to make up at least 5-letter words from the cards you're dealt, but the hubby and I couldn't do it! So naturally we changed it to 4-letter words.

Another thing I am obsessed with lately is reading vintage fashion blogs. I have been poring over the pages of Liebemarlene, Blooming Leopold, and The Cat's Pajamas for the past couple days. They've had me itching to go to another estate sale (I've got one lined up for Saturday, fingers crossed!).

I don't know how I never had gone to an estate sale until a couple weeks ago. It really is like going to another time and place, searching through someone's old life for things that you can give a new life to.

So, yeah. My new obsessions!

Have a great Wednesday, everyone! The weekend (estate sale, thrift stores, fun......) is drawing near!

Oh, and remember remember the fourth of December...enter on Monday's post for Friday's giveaway!

Always,
Amanda

A Wednesday Thriftday

Yesterday, I had the day off, and I decided to go to my thrift stores in the morning before packing all afternoon (we move this weekend!).

Here's what I wore:


Michael Michael Kors Shirt, Goodwill ($2); Old Navy Cardie, Diversity Thrift ($2); Jeans, Goodwill ($4); Docs, Goodwill Outlet ($2); Coach Bag, Goodwill Outlet; Necklace, Thrifty Quaker ($1); Idee Geniale Headband, Etsy ($12)

Here's a close-up of the headband I got from one of my favorite blogger's (Idee Geniale) etsy shop, Little Knitty Things. It's so cute! And perfect with my little vintage pin :)

I found some really cute things yesterday, although many of them are gifts, so I can't show them here! I did find yet another vintage Coach purse that I'm in love with, and some really cute vintage Christmas stuff. Once we move into our new place and I start decorating for Christmas, I'll definitely show you all :)

Have a great day, and a great rest of the week!

Always,
Amanda
